Farmington Schools eighth grader is Geography Bee state semi-finalist

East Middle School eighth grader Sanjiv Seshan recently earned a berth in the 2018 Michigan National Geographic State Bee, held April 6 at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.

Now in its 30th year, the geography bee begins with fourth through eighth grade students participating in school level competitions. School champions then take a qualifying test submitted to the National Geographic Society. Up to 100 of the top scoring students in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Department of Defense Dependents Schools and U.S. territories compete in the State Bees.
